Back when I was in the field, I always used a 28oz Vaughan for framing, my everything else hammer was a 20oz Estwing.
As the years went by hammers were used less and less, nobody had air tools when I started.
Last time I looked the guys in the field had almost no hand nails and fewer and fewer tools with cords.
Not quite sure they could nail off plywood with a hammer at any speed or drive a nail consistently without leaving moons.
And they have no idea how to reach into their bags and grab the right amount of nails so they can turn them without looking.
So I don't understand why they would need a $200 hammer, though when i looked the Vaughans go for $35-40 now and I think that is what they were 20 years ago.
I know I couldn't swing one all day these days.
